“…Moreover, average high frequency hearing sensitivity and word discrimination ability was statistically similar between groups and no differences were found in analysis of DPOAE amplitude from 500 through 4000 Hz. Similar findings of low frequency sensitivity loss associated with central auditory dysfunction have been reported previously (Hall, 1985;Hayes & Jerger, 1979). Results suggest that evidence of central auditory decline may be apparent in the pure tone audiogram as well as measures designed to evaluate the central auditory mechanism.…”

“…In general, females showed relatively flatter losses, while males showed more steeply sloping high-frequency loss. It is noteworthy to observe that a similar gender difference in audiometric contour was described by Hayes and Jerger (1979) in elderly subjects with presbyacusis.…”

“…56 The vast majority of studies that examined pure-tone thresholds in both men and women have demonstrated a phenomenon that is sometimes called a gender reversal pattern: whereas men have poorer high-frequency hearing than women, women experience slightly more low-frequency hearing loss with increasing age, as compared with men. 47,48,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68] This difference is shown to a lesser degree in children and young adults 10,61,66 and occurs in African Americans 51,58 as well as in persons living in low-noise environments of the Sudan 54 and Jamaica. 63 Although it can be found in most large-scale studies, this reversal pattern is not noted in all investigations.…”
